         11 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the second contents is a predetermined advertising contents. 
     
     
         12 . A method that a first contents corresponding to a contents selecting signal received from a device is provided to the device by a contents providing system, the method comprising:
 stopping playing the first contents while the first contents is playing and outputting information requesting user input; and   resuming playing the first contents when a user input corresponding to the information requesting user input was input.   
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 12  further comprises determining a compensating value according to at least one of type, content, and quantity of the user input. 
     
     
         14 . A method that a first contents corresponding to a contents selecting signal received from a device is provided to the device by a contents providing system, the method comprising:
 playing at least one of a second contents before the first contents plays or while the first contents is playing on the device; and   beginning or resuming playing the first contents after playing the second contents has finished,   wherein the method further comprises outputting information requesting user input; and   wherein the beginning or resuming playing the first contents includes beginning or resuming playing the first contents when a user input corresponding to the output information requesting user input was input and playing the second contents has finished.   
     
     
         15 . A method for playing contents comprising:
 a contents providing system receiving a selection of a first contents through a device;   playing at least one of a second contents before the first contents plays or while the first contents is playing on the device;   outputting information requesting user input to the device while the second contents is playing or after playing the second contents; and   beginning or resuming playing the first contents when a user input corresponding to the information requesting user input was input.   
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein the beginning or resuming playing the first contents includes finishing playing the second contents, when the information requesting user input is output, and thereafter the user input is input, while the second contents is playing.
